Re: Olight H2R Nova Quick Review
... there are no visible differences between the old and the new H2R tailcap, not sure if Olight will make any visual changes to the packaging or the light itself.
Thanks for that and the description of the test. I'd surmised that'd be the way. My light arrived last week and I'm quite pleased with it, though I have occasionally run into the same thing others have described ... a light touch at the rear of the blue bezel around the switch will SOMETIMES (but not always) shut the light down. I've also confirmed I have the old tailcap.
I sent an e-mail to the distributor asking for the new one, and I thought my e-mail had been ignored since I never received a reply of any kind. But today, the new tailcap showed up! Indeed it does look exactly like the old one. Clearly they've inserted a diode into the current path from the center pin, because while it still charges normally, only a few milliamps will flow the other way. I feel much more comfortable with that safety feature.
